ANGELS OF HOPE Yes, it’s that time of the year and once again the annual Chicagoland Prison Outreach Angels of Hope Christmas is coming soon! This is a great opportunity to share Christ’s love through this Christmas gift giving event by purchasing and giving Christmas gifts to children and families of Cook County inmates. We have received our families names and wish lists, we will have angel tags for you to take from the Angel Tree that will be in the Narthex the next few Sundays. The gifts will need to be back here at church by Sunday, November 24th. The wrapping party is tentatively set for Sunday, December 1st, after worship. It will be a tight timeline, as it always is, but we always manage to make it quite the successful mission project!
NEW THIS YEAR…we are planning on delivering the gifts for our families to them directly, if you are interested in this rewarding opportunity please let Nanette or the office know! There will be a sign-up sheet in the narthex as we get closer to delivery time.
